Cidade em Cinzas

Directed by Nivaldo Carvalho

From the felling of the remaining trees in urban areas to the burning of their trunks, the film addresses urgent environmental issues and also encourages reflection on the occupation/transformation of spaces in a dying city, losing its trees, bodies, and stories. The racial theme also permeates the environmental theme, as the city that eliminates trees from urban spaces is also the same one that keeps traditional communities that resist on the margins.
